if you want to do it properly, ring round some workshops and get a quote to do; timing belt, tensioner bearing, idler bearing, bottom air con pulley bearing, water pump and cam seals! then normal stuff like belts etc. Worth fitting an adjustable cam gear while its all apart if you have future plans for the car too. hope this helps

AMEC - Can you give a breif listing of what is included in your 100k services for $953

sure :laugh:

our R33 GTST 100K service includes:

Idler & Tension Bearing

Tensioner Spring

Cam Seals & Front Main Seal

Genuine Nissan Timing Belt

Genuine Nissan Water Pump

Labour and Fluids

Kudos Motorsports offer a few 100 000km service packages (3 I believe) for the R33. So if you wanna purchase parts and find somebody to install here are the links to all 3 packages by Kudos.

Kudos Basic Kit

Kudos HD Kit

Kudos HD+ Kit

Cheers.

hey Amec, just outta curiosity, i have a 34 gtt and im comin up to my 100k service too, would the cost be the same for my car since it too is an RB25DET? also, is it possible for you to guess how much extra it would cost to get a rocker cover gasket fixed at the same time? hoping to save on a bit of labour doing it then.

Ill also make sure i shoot a call ur way too ECC

yep 100K service will be the same price $953 including parts and labour :blink:

will do the rocker cover gasket for $85 + cost of the gasket.

rush - same price champ

wont get in price wars on forums or anything as it is not very professional or ethical , so give me a call if you want labour quote on the r/c gasket :P

Good call, this forum eats up and spits out workshops that try to get work off of here.

Do some searchs on workshops that have tried to help members in the past, most of them have moved on from here never to return.

You will be the flavour of the month while you are giving them forum member discounts, then another shop will undercut you to get the work and BOOM you were a rip-off and you will get bagged and dumped.

Not all members of this forum are users and abusers, but a few bad apples as they.

With AMEC, not only will you get good service and value, but we also have the unique claim where the mananger regularly competes in circuit racing and has won the Queesnland Raceway sprint series in a race car built by our workshop. All on the same VG30DETT motor we built back in Feb 2006 and she is still going strong @ 24 psi.

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
